Carroll had just a .438 OPS in 63 plate appearances with Triple-A Buffalo. The 31-year-old will now try to latch on elsewhere. Fri, Jul 4, 2014 09:24:00 AM

Blue Jays signed OF Brett Carroll to a minor league contract.

The deal does not include a minor league invite. Carroll, 31, played exclusively at the Triple-A level with the Pirates last year and will serve as organizational depth for Toronto. Tue, Feb 18, 2014 12:17:00 PM

Nationals purchased the contract of OF Brett Carroll from Triple-A Syracuse.

Carroll snagged a roster spot, despite batting just .206 (13-for-63) this spring. He'll likely split at-bats with Roger Bernadina in center fielder initially, but could be the odd man out when Rick Ankiel (hamstring) is ready to come off the disabled list.

Brett Carroll tripled in three runs and walked twice Thursday against the Braves.

With Michael Morse set to go on the DL, the Nats could keep Carroll as a part-time outfielder. Unlike Rick Ankiel and Roger Bernadina, he's a right-handed hitter, so he could start in center field against lefties.

Nationals manager Davey Johnson singled out Brett Carroll and Rick Ankiel as two players he's been intrigued by this spring.

The Nationals are looking to build a more productive bench in 2012. "I'm impressed with Carroll, who has opened my eyes," Johnson said. "Ankiel has looked very good this spring with his adjustments.'' Both Carroll and Ankiel signed minor league contracts this offseason and are capable of playing all three outfield positions.

He'll likely receive an invite to spring training. Carroll, 28, appeared in two games with the Brewers this season and has a .203/.281/.322 career batting line over 322 major-league plate appearances. Look for him to function as organizational depth.

Carrol was designated for assignment by the Brewers last week so that they could clear a 40-man roster spot for Jerry Hairston Jr. The 28-year-old outfielder should draw a minor league contract from somewhere.

Carroll was up for just over a week and received only three at-bats. He's being designated in order to clear a spot on the 25-man and 40-man rosters for the newly acquired Jerry Hairston. Carroll is likely to clear waivers and remain in the organization.

Brewers purchased the contract of OF Brett Carroll from Triple-A Nashville.

He'll replace the injured Carlos Gomez on the active roster. Carroll, 28, was batting .281/.356/.469 with 15 homers, 51 RBI and nine stolen bases in 381 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season. Those are some pretty gaudy numbers for someone who has a .205 batting average over 319 plate appearances in the major leagues. In short, don't expect much.

The Brewers are expected to call up Brett Carroll to replace Carlos Gomez (broken collarbone) on the active roster.

Gomez, who broke his left collarbone, is expected to be placed on the disabled list before Thursday's game. Carroll is batting .281/.356/.469 with 15 homers, 51 RBI and nine stolen bases over 93 games with Triple-A Nashville this season. The 28-year-old has an ugly .205 batting average over 319 plate appearances in the big leagues, so he's unlikely to be fantasy relevant.

Brewers acquired OF Brett Carroll from the Royals for cash considerations.

Carroll went 0-for-15 with the Royals before being reassigned to minor league camp last week. The 28-year-old outfielder has a .205/.284/.325 batting line over 319 major league plate appearances, all with the Marlins. He'll likely function as organizational depth at the Triple-A level.

Blue Jays placed 2B Devon Travis on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 29, with a left shoulder strain.

Travis re-injured his left shoulder on Tuesday. He was given a cortisone shot in hopes that he'd be able to power through the ailment, but apparently it hasn't had the desired effect. It's unclear at this point how long he might be sidelined.

Maicer Izturis is likely done for the season after right shoulder surgery.

Izturis hurt his shoulder last month while working his way back from a groin strain during a minor league rehab assignment. This is more bad luck for a guy who has appeared in just 11 major league games since the start of 2014 due to injury.

Blue Jays placed RHP Marcus Stroman on the 60-day disabled list with a torn ACL in his left knee.

Stroman will miss the entirety of the 2015 season as he recovers from the injury. In his absence, both Daniel Norris and Aaron Sanchez have golden opportunities to work in the rotation throughout the season.
